Lucy's POV, the next day

As I teleported my team and I to our arena, a small ball of fur hugged my leg tightly. I looked down and saw Violin smiling widely. Beside her was Frosche and Lector. I smile and bend down.

"Oh hello, there, Vi! I'm so sorry I haven't spent that much time with you." I said in an apologetic manner.

Tell me about it.

I ignored Efter's comment and listened to what Violin was now saying.

"It's okay! Vi met Fro and Lector! Vi became best friends with them!" She chirped. I awed and softly pet Violin's head.

"Love ya', Vi. Why don't you head over to Sabertooth's stand and play with Frosche and Lector?" I said, and Violin laughed and grabbed Frosche and Lector's paws, running off to Sabertooth's stand. However, I noticed an adorable blush on Frosche's face (A/N I don't know about anyone else, but I imagine Frosche as a girl). Hehehe... I ship it now. What would it be... Froilin or Viosche...? Hm.. Probably Viosche. They may both be innocent, but I still imagine Violin being a seme. I smiled and stood up again, leaning my head onto Erza's shoulder.

"Now, for today's mini-game, we have a game called Nightmare! Please select your participant and send them down to the arena, kabo!" Mato said into the mic. I looked around and narrowed my eyes, than picked up Guildarts by his cape.

"You're going, Guildarts." I said in a commanding voice. He nodded and paled, then scurried down to the arena.

"And from Fairytail Team A, Guildarts Clive!" Chapita yelled into the microphone.

"Why did you choose Guildarts, Lu?" Erza asked in a confused manor. I simply smiled and leaned my head back into Erza's shoulder.

"The game is called 'Nightmare'. And Guildarts, oh boy. When he's serious, he's tough and numb, I know that much. It might include something about spawning your greatest fear. He's perfect for this game, at least I think so." Erza nodded, understanding my explanation.

"Now that all of the participants are in the arena, we will begin to explain the rules to Nightmare, kabo!" Mato began.

"First, the participants will wear a high-tech mask that will send them to the sort of 'Realm' that we dubbed the Mindzone, kabo. The participants will be transported to the mindzone, where they will have access to every other participant's memories! And ONLY the negative ones! If you enter another participant's Memorybank, as we dubbed as well, you will feel the same emotion that person was feeling the day that memory happened, but 2x worse, kabo! If you meet another participant in a Memorybank, you must fight that participant while pulling through the negative emotions! You can also enter your own Memorybank, and if so, you will feel the emotion you felt that day 5x worse! In order to win, you need to knock out all of the other participants, kabo!" Mato explained. Phew, I'm sure glad that I didn't go up. I have a lot of classified memories, dark or not.

Once the participants got the masks on, lacrima screens appeared throughout the arena. I smiled wider and watched as I saw Lyon, who participated for Lamia Scale, walk into Guildarts' Memorybank. And then...

"*ROAR*!!!" A load roar from the REAL Acnologia. Oh, you don't wanna KNOW what happened when I found out he had attacked Guildarts. Anyway, Lyon screamed and fell to his knees, shaking with fear. I smirked when I saw Guildarts walk in, with a numbed face. He didn't know how to avoid emotions, just to work with them.

Author's POV

As Guildarts walked up to Lyon, Lyon shakily looked up and and finally managed to stutter out,

"H-How a-a-are you n-not af-ffected by th-this f-f-fear..?!" He yelled, nearly looking like we was going to pass out.

"It's simple, really. I've already felt fear so many times, I know how to work with it, ignore it even." He responded. And with one punch to the head, Lyon was out cold, and disappeared into digits. Soon, Kagura walked inside Guildarts' Memorybank, and her eyes widened, paling slightly, but she simply shook her head and walked towards Guildarts. As he turned around, Kagura's eyes widened even more, seeing as another part of the memory came up- Him fearing death. Multiple good yet sad memories flashed before Kagura's eyes, and she began to tremble. Guildarts ran up to Kagura and punched her in the gut, then kneed her in the head, and finally, he kicked her into the wall of the Memorybank. Soon enough, she disappeared as well. After that, no one else came into Guildarts' Memorybank, and he ended up winning by going to Bacchus' Memorybank and quickly knocking Wendy out, not wanting to hurt her too much.

"AND THE WINNER IS GUILDARTS CLIVE OF FAIRYTAIL TEAM A!" Chapita yelled into the mic. When Guildarts spawned back, he kneeled down, panting. It was hard fighting of your greatest fear by 10, much less trying to ignore it. And yet, he still stood up, pride stitched to his face, with a grin as wide as a dragon's tail spread across his jaw. And he held up Fairytail's famous symbol, the rest of the guild following in pursuit.

"WE ARE FAIRYTAIL!!!"
